Applied Concepts, Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are both located within 1 distinct art unit. LE, HAILEY R is the busiest examiner, currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This means the 2 pending office actions are split between the assigned examiners.
The 1 distinct art unit provides a consistent technical framework for both of the 2 pending office actions. While LE, HAILEY R is the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending action, the overall workload is distributed. Practitioners should note that the 2 distinct examiners will likely apply the same art unit standards to the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems applications. Effective prosecution will require addressing the individual nuances of each examiner while maintaining a consistent technical argument throughout the process.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.

|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (33%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
